    Enjoy, there are a few issues (category links broken, login form not styled propely) but hopefull most of it all should work.

    Fixes for issues will be coming soon as well as some new features but initially this is vb4 relatively flat.

      try clearing your cache/full refresh as that sounds like you dont have the current stylesheets.

      This definitely sounds like an issue with your individual browser. I've just loaded up this page in IE8 and get the right thing displayed. Have you got any addins etc... running? Have you tried loading it in IE8 safe mode?

      I have been able to replicate the same issue.
      The odd spacing happens when you view the site in compatability mode in IE8. When you turn that off, the site returns to how it should look

      IE8 compat mode = IE7 and IE7 does have a signature spacing issue I am fixing.

      Has anyone else had this? Since you have created the new site everytime i access Edugeek with IE8 within a minute it freezes and i have to restart the browser. So now i can only access your site using firefox, that also locks up but not as often since i changed to the No Tabs theme up until then it was as bad as IE8, however this hasnt made any difference in IE8.
      I have not had this problem with any site other than yours, and its only happened since you changed the site, any ideas?
      Cheers

      Hi
      I use IE8 heavily and I have not noticed it freeze like that, I have noticed a couple of pause issues but nothing major. Does this happen everywhere or just on threads/forum home etc?

      No pauses on IE8 here.

      Although I like it, on the front page I don't like the way the Forum title comes underneath the post. I also don't like how the comment title comes under the actual comment.

      Surely title then post is a better way?

      From what I can tell I am not viewing it with compatibility mode.

      I quite like the new version, but also find this a bit confusing - forum title above the post would make more sense to me. Would also prefer the latest posts section to be more prominent as well like it used to be.

      A couple of other bugs/annoyances that I've come across are:
      1) When searching it sometimes comes up with a message "This forum requires that you wait 8 seconds between searches. Please try again in [x] seconds.", despite being several minutes (or hours) since my last search (a lot longer than 8 seconds in any case).
      2) Also, with the previous version of the forums, the webpage titles used to vary depending on what page of a thread you were on (so '[thread title] - Page 2', etc), whereas the new version just uses the same title for all pages in a thread, which is one of my pet hates as I then have to remember to change the filename if saving a page so it doesn't overwrite any others, so hope this can be changed.

      Thanks, Harlquinth.

      I have a major issue trying to use the site at work now since the change. If i go to browse forums via the Forums tab up top, i can see nothing other than people actually using the forum. No categories/posts anything show up. All i get is occasionally a complaint that Ads are blocked in some way instead of the add showing although i can view the site fine. If i click on the What's new tab, this does show up posts and these are the only ones i can read. What's going on ? Is it the Ad blocking that's happening somewhere that's preventing me from browsing the forums, and if so are the ads hosted on the same domain or elsewhere so i can unblock them ?

      Do you have noscript possibly or disabled javascript?
      If so you will have issues using the site in general tbh so I would enable js, failing that switch to another theme (non tabbed) using the drop down menu at the bottom left of the page.
